Joe Biden just BOLTED out of the room immediately after awarding the Medal of Honor to Army Captain Larry Taylor.
The ceremony continued on for several minutes afterwards.

[On one hand, this could be yet another sign of senility, but that misreads the event, I think. Staffers are supposed to keep presidents on protocol, as presidents do not normally memorize agendas and event parameters. Perhaps a staffer did tell Biden to stay on the dais until the benediction concluded, but shouldn’t a staffer have stopped him once he started heading off the dais? The incompetence of this White House certainly starts at the top, but it cascades all the way down. Jazz had more on this earlier, and raised the same question, as well as others. — Ed]
